Remington 700P LTR is long or short action?

Remington 700P LTR 308 is long or short action?

I am trying to buy a one-piece picatinny style base for it. What does the MOA choice for the rail mean?

 

[kis2]

caliber? .223 and .308 are short

MOA cant can aid in long distance shots, particularly in scopes with limited adjusment.

 

[TheStupid]

308.

Thanks, that helps a lot!

If I don't expect to shoot longer than 400 yards, what should I get?

 

[JDGray]

Get a 0 moa base if thats all the range you have. The LTR is a fine shooter!!

 

[TheStupid]

Any recommendation on which brand of rail? I have a 42mm scope with 30mm tube and a set of weaver low rings.

JDG already answered you. Get a 0 MOA rail. The 10 MOA, 20 MOA or 40 MOA are for extreme distance shooting 1,000 yards/meters +. You intend to shoot at closer range, and so you need 0 off-set in your rail. Regarding specific manufacturer, I use Ken Ferrell rails on my bolt actions. If you can, purchase the G-Force rail for added stability.

Can't find Ken Ferrell or G-force rails on Midway. :-(

How's Millet or Tally?

like with most things, it depends on how much you want to spend, but lots of companies make good rings/bases

I went with seekins precision, you can find them on liberty optics

you'll have a real nice rifle in the end, enjoy it!

Wow, that's some expensive base. :-(

 

[kis2]

if you don't mind, what is your price range for rings and bases?

leupold and badger make some as well

 

[TheStupid]

I have the rings already. So, don't really want to spend more than $60 for the base, if possible.

 

[kis2]

ah my apologies, I missed you had the rings already. take a look at leupolds one piece base, should be within your price range with quality. more than a few people have accurate rifles with them

edit to add: i say one piece, it's obviously your choice

 

[unwise11]

Leupold 2 piece steel bases will work if your rings fit em.

 

[Freedom_fighter_in_IL]

Any time you can use a one piece, do so. It is a stronger platform and gives old Murphy less to work with (Murphy's Law).

And Pardon Geno, he sometimes forgets there are "po folks" out there that can't afford $130.00 for a scope base (I have 3 of them too Geno they rock) Leo's work fine. Good luck and Happy Holidays T.S. (Not going to call you by your ID)

 

[unwise11]

I'm gonna use a 2 piece after Xmas, but if it doesnt work I'll switch back to my 1 piece 20MOA.

I like Farrell bases, but EGW makes a good base at half the price
